This is a question Clients Are Stupid

I once had to train a client on how to use their new website. I said, "point the mouse at that button." They looked at me with a quizzical expression, picked up the mouse and held it to the screen. Can you beat this bit of client stupidity?

This is a QotW answer Just remember, I deal with the same stupid clients you do, only I get them in too-small speedos...
I work as a lifeguard at a year-round pool, and we get lovely bits of stupidity like the following:

-There is a thermometer in the water so we can easily check the temperature of the pool, and a man swims up to me and asks "What's this?"
"A thermometer, sir"
"Is it water-proof?"

-What time is the 9.30 arobics class?

-Two children swimming in the pool and suddenly get a panicked look on their faces, look at me and ask if they are allowed to swim

During the warmer months, we also work at the beach, and I found these to be quite....well...yes

-I'm picking up a dead jellyfish up off the beach, and a lady walks up and gives me a funny look and asks me if that's a jellyfish. I say yes, and she asks very accusingly "Well....were are it's testicles?" ...n-t...big...big difference

-Why isn't the water heated? You should think about heating the water.

-Do you add salt to the water???
